When I went to my plot today I heard a funny noise and then realised it was coming from next doors bath which is full of murky green water. There were five frogs and loads of frogspawn. I have never ever seen this happen before so it was fascinating. One frog looked as if it had been hugged to death though.
My nice clean mini pond hasn't got any spawn in it. Do they prefer green water?

Well done with the photo - I haven't got as far as sorting out how to take them let alone put them on A4A. Anyway - down to the lottie this morning to find that the frog spawn has arrived in my part of Essex!

Lovely pics! We have lovely big clumps of froggy spawn in our first pond and we have action in the second pond so well on the way now. :D busy_lizzie

Watch them if you have fish. One of mine were blinded in one eye last year, Caught one on a fish today. If they grab them round the gills they are gonners.I had to get the fish out in a net and pull the frog off. Apparently they are short sighted and the males get that excited they just latch on to anything that passes their way. (typical) lmao

Agree with Shirlton,
I don't have fish for that reason (only a smallish pond).
This year, I have more frogs than ever before. Problem is - they're thrashing around & trashing the spawn that's already been produced.
And they're still sha**ing!!

Same happened to me.....well my fish, last year, had to pull an amorous frog off one of my very confused looking big fish! The fish survived, but maybe now has a frog phobia! :o ;D
Shirlton and Tellboy......ROFL!

Even more frog spawn in the pond this morning and the three frogs seem to be in the same position as yesterday - I feel sorry for the one in the middle!

Frogs have been very quiet, but obviously been 'at it' very actively because at least six clumps of frogspawn.
Toads have made a little more noise but not very much. At least four lots have spawned, one is in the process of spawning today and one pair waiting to spawn.
Surprised they have spawned so close together as usually a couple of weeks apart.
I thought I had got rid of the fish but they must have bred because there are little ones that will have to go.
Anyone want some small fish?

Not spotted any spawn yet but they were at it on Monday and Tuesday when I went past so I'll be surprised if there isn't any!
::)

What a great pic Simon! I love frogs too, and I am often out at our pond seeing what they are all up to. When the weather gets warmer I usually go around with a torch to look for them in the garden and find them in all sorts of funny positions. busy_lizzie

I have frog spawn in my new pond today too, poor pond is all bare, no plants in it yet either. so am 'well chuffed'

honeybee · « **Reply #58 on:** March 11, 2007, 12:49:16 »

Spotted my frog spawn today, its possible its been there a few days as ive not been able to check due to the commitments of the real world :)

Ive just looked back on last years thread and I noted my spawn on April 1st last year, so its a fair few weeks earlier this year :)

mc55 · « **Reply #59 on:** March 12, 2007, 09:22:53 »
